BF2 EA UK Forum: Petition for making bf2.exe to be able to use more than 2GB of RAM

[Grasli]

Hey.

I was tired of a post here and post there which became forgotten after a few days. Now I created a new thread at the EA UK with a petition for making bf2.exe to be able to use more than 2GB of RAM.

I know about the unoffical bf2.exe that we can download, but that may give you PB problems (MD5 and so on). If DICE can do a official fix for it, PB will not be a problem.

VOTE!!!

it dose if you run it in high gfx and load 2 or 3 maps in a row without a restart.

Nice XP/Vista rant :-\

Either way, I hope they fix it, so we don't have to do things ourselves again..

i use the fix and rarely get problems with PB

[Alex6714]

I use the fix and never get problems with PB. I am starting to think my PC has destroyed PB and let a fake take over or something.

Maybe its one of the vista stability fixes in the patch already or did I miss something?

#1 sounds likely

Ah nice! Lets see if I get the same problem Will I have to reinstall if the fix does 'causes me loads of pb kicks?

[Alex6714]

Just back up the old exe.

[StuTika]

Are we talking about the C++ fix mentioned?

I get random CTDs after loading 2 or 3 maps, it's dead annoying!

I have 3 GB RAM, would be nice to use all of it!

not only for EU, but for US too?

I shall sign it if I can see the need when I get my new PC up and running.

Anyway, vBF2 noobs have turned that thread into a Vista vs XP thread and DICE are completely avoiding the main topic.

Well guys, happy news. For 1.50 beta 2 (released today), bf2.exe is allowed to use more than 2GB of RAM.

"Allow BF2.exe to use more than 2Gb RAM on machines that support it - Fixed"


*EDIT*
Remember to test this with 1.50 B2 to see if it really works guys. TEST IT! Then you dont need the unofficial bf2.exe anymore..

[VoXiNaTiOn]

Nice one Grasli, hopefully it will get a good performance increase without the need for the custom .exe.
